How to paint Bad Moon Orks?

[DEL 707]

So I bought myself some Ork Nobz, slowly working on the guy, which is proving difficult since I've never painted flesh before.

 

I want to paint him as a bad moon, but I'm having trouble finding a colour guide.

Can anyone point out what kind of colours I would need to make the right yellow?

Although they are fantasy Orruk (Orcs), Tyler Mengel has a great tutorial here that covers what you need I think. It's nice and easy too, although you do need to be neat. :)

The free Citadel Paint App (available on iPhone and Android) has colour guides aplenty, including for specific factions.

 

It doesn't include Bad Moon Orks, but there are a couple of general yellow schemes. The following are the "layer" versions, but there are "drybrush" versions as well if you prefer that; they generally assume you're going to want to use their Dry paint ranges, which tend to be thicker.

 

Yellow: basecoat Averland Sunset, shade Casandora Yellow, layer Yriel Yellow, edge highlight Flash Gitz Yellow.

 

Warm Yellow: basecoat Averland Sunset, shade Casandora Yellow, shade Fuegan Orange, edge highlight Flash Gitz Yellow.

 

Imperial Fists Armour: basecoat Averland Sunset, layer Yriel Yellow, shade Agrax Earthshade, edge highlight Screaming Skull.

 

That last one produces a dirtier overall look, with dark recesses and worn-looking highlights, so it might be worth considering for Orks - or mix it up, use the plain Yellow scheme but just substitute Agrax Earthshade for Casandora Yellow so the recesses are grimier.

 

Edit: It just occurred to me to check Warhammer TV on YouTube, and they have a specific

from just under a year ago with a bit of a different scheme, including how to do chipping effects. You should also be able to find several different ways to paint Ork/Orruk skin.

Thanks for all the help. :)
